DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE DEPARTMENT OF THE ARMY OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY STATEMENTS OF: HON. JOHN M. McHUGH, SECRETARY GENERAL GEORGE W. CASEY, CHIEF OF STAFF OPENING STATEMENT OF CHAIRMAN DANIEL K. INOUYE Chairman INOUYE. The hearing will come to order. This morning, we welcome the Honorable John McHugh, Sec- retary of the Army, along with General George Casey, the Chief of Staff of the United States Army. Gentlemen, we thank you for being here with us today as we re- view the Army’s budget request for fiscal year 2011. Before proceeding, I’d like to announce that, because of illness, the vice chairman will not be with us this morning. In his place, we have the gentleman from Alabama. The Department of the Army’s fiscal year 2011 budget request is $143.4 billion, an increase of $2.5 billion over last year’s enacted budget, excluding funding appropriated to the Army in the fiscal year 2010 supplemental. The Army also has requested $20 billion for overseas contingency operations for the remainder of this fiscal year, primarily to fund surge operations in Afghanistan. In April of last year, President Obama and Secretary Gates announced substantial initiatives within the Department of Defense to strengthen our All-Volunteer Force, change how and what the Department buys, and rebalance military capabilities. After an overhaul of the Army’s modernization effort last year, fiscal year 2011 budget request includes $3.2 billion for the Army’s (1) 2 revamped Brigade Combat Team Modernization Program and pro- vides $6 billion for Army aviation. The fiscal year 2011 budget re- quest builds upon the reform agenda set by Secretary Gates last year and supports the final year of a 5-year plan to restore balance to an Army that has experienced the cumulative effects of years upon years of conflict. The subcommittee is looking forward to hearing not only about these efforts, but also about the Department’s vision to rebalance and reshape, as directed in the Quadrennial Defense Review (QDR) completed this past January. One of the central themes of the 2010 Quadrennial Defense Review is balance. The Department needs to find balance between providing capabilities to prevail in today’s wars, while building the capabilities needed to counter future threats. The Army is shouldering a very heavy burden, since it has been conducting combat operations in two theaters while trans- forming and modernizing at the same time. However, budget pres- sures to support current operations have made it very difficult to allow for the investment in modernization. Not only is balance included and needed between meeting the de- mands of today and the threats of the future, it is also needed within each of the military services, and the Army has continued to answer the Nation’s call, but it has been at the expense of main- taining a well-balanced force. We are aware of the demands created by more than 8 years of continuous war. Repeated and lengthy deployments have stressed our soldiers, their families, and our support systems and equip- ment. Currently the Department is managing a shift in focus in our overseas contingency operations. While the withdrawal of U.S. forces from Iraq has begun, an additional 30,000 troops have been committed to supporting operations in Afghanistan. Since the Army is the service most heavily engaged in these op- erations, the Secretary of Defense has permitted the Army to re- tain 22,000 soldiers, temporarily, above the authorized end strength of 547,000. This decision was made to acknowledge the fact that future readiness is dependent upon restoring balance and lessening the strain upon the force. Finally, there is one other type of balance that this subcommittee will be looking for during the budget review, the balance between risk and resources. The Quadrennial Defense Review has set the agenda and defined requirements, and presumably the Department has budgeted for those priorities. However, there will never be enough resources to eliminate all risk. It is our hope that today’s hearing will help illuminate how the Army’s fiscal year 2011 budg- et request addresses the recommendations of the Quadrennial De- fense Review while maintaining balance among a number of val- ued, yet equally important, priorities. Gentlemen, we sincerely appreciate your service to our Nation and your dedication and sacrifices made daily by the men and women in our Army. We could not be more grateful for what those who wear our Nation’s uniform do for our country each and every day. Gentlemen, your full statements will be made a part of the record. And I would now wish to turn to the Senator from Alabama. 3 STATEMENT OF SENATOR RICHARD C. SHELBY Senator SHELBY. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I’ll be brief. I just want to join you in welcoming Secretary McHugh and General Casey to this subcommittee. They’re no strangers here. Thank you. Chairman INOUYE. I thank you very much. Now, with that, Secretary, we are depending on you, sir. SUMMARY STATEMENT OF HON. JOHN MC HUGH Mr. MCHUGH. Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman. As you noted, we’ll enter, with your permission, our full state- ments into the record. And I know time is of some concern here this morning, so I just would like to summarize a few of those points. First of all, I want to,

    COMPENDIUM OF PROBLEM DEFINITION COMPENDIUMSTATEMENTS OF - VOLUMEPROBLEM DEFINITIONIII (2018) COMPENDIUMSTATEMENTS OF - PROBLEMVOLUME III DEFINITION (2018) STATEMENTS - VOLUME III (2018) MESSAGE Modernisation and capability development through indigenous technology is an imperative for a nation’s Army to meet its strategic expectations. This calls for a vibrant and responsive defence sector to keep pace with the needs of the Army. The setting up of the Army Design Bureau has provided an institutionalized interface between the Army, Industry and Academia to share each other’s requirements, capabilities and concerns. It will strengthen the efforts of the Army and Industry to achieve self-reliance in defence manufacturing, in sync with the ‘Make in India’ initiative. The compilation of the third volume of ‘Problem Statements’ by the Indian Army is a commendable effort to share its requirements with the academia and the defence industrial base for creating indigenous solutions. It will facilitate a comprehensive insight into the challenges faced by the Army and the opportunities it offers to the Academia and Industry. Confederation of Indian Industry is committed to supporting the “Make in India” program and welcomes this initiative. I would also like to compliment the Society of Indian Defence Manufacturers, for this first public endeavour since its formation, in partnership with the Indian Army. Chandrajit Banerjee Director General, CII MESSAGE To march towards self-reliance in defence manufacturing and align with the ‘Make in India’ initiative of the Prime Minister of India, the Indian army has taken great strides in all strata of inclusive Capability development in the Country. It has exemplified its faith by launching the maximum number of ‘Make’ projects in recent years.
